Georgina Bassington-Hope is sent Maisie's way because she thinks Inspector Stratton and company did less than stellar work investigating the death of her twin brother. Georginia believes her brother, Nick, did not accidentally fall from the scaffold in the art gallery. She feels like he was murdered. Will Maisie and her trusty assistant, Billy, be able to uncover the truth? The suspects are many, Nick's three artist friends, his brother, Harry with a gambling problem, the wealthy American that has paid handsomely for Nick's previous works, and many more! When Maisie and Billy discover their office ransacked and their case map stolen they basically had to start over from square one. There's some heartbreaking in this novel as readers see the class difference in London at this time, however class does not determine joy. Kate connected this to a book she's reading, Created to Be His Help Meet, that explains how Gratitude comes before Joy. God stresses the importance of gratitude over and over in His Word. Join Kate and Sheila as they reconnect with Maisie Dobbs. It's 1931, she hits the streets of London and the countryside as well to track down the truth. Some of our favorite quips and quotes: “How might I serve?” (The most important question, learned from her mentor, Maurice) “Things are rarely as they seem.” “Choose your battles, Billy.” “...if I am to keep Georgina Bassington-Hope out of your way, to effectively pick up your laundry, then wash and fold it, I should say you owe me a bit more than 15 minutes in a 3rd rate caff on Oxford Street.” : ) Maisie letting Inspector Stratton have a piece of her mind. Are you ready to sip a cuppa and solve the mystery in Jacqueline Winspear's Messenger of Truth? Happy reading dear listeners!
Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten say goodbye to Maisie Dobbs after 18 of Jacqueline Winspear's mystery novels, narrated beautifully by Orlagh Cassidy. Listeners will appreciate the tender way the characters' closing stories are treated. Cassidy's use of accents lends credibility to Winspear's fully developed characters and well-researched plot. In 1945 London, Maisie discovers four adolescents and a desperately sick soldier squatting in a vacant mansion. While solving a possible murder occupies Maisie, she is truly driven by caring for the needy. Cassidy once again provides listeners with the rich tapestry that Winspear has woven through the series.

It's just after World War II, and Elinor White (born Elinor de Witt, which also means “white”), a single woman in her mid-forties, lives as a recluse in a village near Tunbridge Wells. One day in 1947, while on a walk, she encounters a recent arrival named Rose Mackie and is drawn to Rose's three-year-old daughter, Susie. When thugs from London threaten Rose and Susie, Elinor brushes off the skills she polished during the two world wars and, with the help of a former colleague who has risen through the ranks at Scotland Yard, sets out to discover exactly what the thugs have planned for Rose's husband, Jim. While trying to put a stop to it, she uncovers a web of intrigue and corruption that reaches to the very top of society. This story occurs alongside an exploration of Elinor's past, beginning with her girlhood in Belgium under German occupation during World War I and extending to her service as an intelligence agent against the Nazis twenty or so years later. Eventually the two threads of Elinor's history and present intersect, revealing the achievements and the regrets that drive her. In The White Lady (Harper, 2023), as in her Maisie Dobbs series, Winspear demonstrates a deep and multifaceted understanding of the effects of war on those forced to fight. Her books are thought-provoking, emotionally satisfying, and well worth your time. Jacqueline Winspear is the award-winning, bestselling author of seventeen Maisie Dobbs novels to date, as well as stand-alone novels such as The White Lady and several nonfiction works. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and three other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Storyteller, appeared in January 2023.

Feedback This Close to Okay by Leesa Cross-Smith (rec’d by Brooke) Mad and Bad: Real Heroines of the Regency by Bea Koch (rec’d by Sophie) The Switch by Beth O’Leary and The City We Became by NK Jemisin (rec’d by Cari) Questions 1. Travel request: books about/set in Hawaii! Going to Maui, Big Island, and Oahu. Have already put the True to Me series on hold, and have tried Freckled (not going to Kauai and its not that good anyway…). I have also already read The Unhoneymooners (loved). Also have another memoir on hold already called West of Then. Not looking for a dense read but nonfiction okay. I’m a BIG middle grade novel reader because I teach fourth grade, so please, all ages welcome. YA okay also. Thank you for recommending 2AM at the Cat’s Pajamas a While Back. LOVED IT. WELL DONE YOU!!!! You are my favorite in the podcastiverse. -Laura 2. Hello! I love your podcast, and because of you guys my TBR now stretches into the hundreds. So… thanks, I guess? Anyway, I recently read the book Red Sister by Mark Lawrence, and I LOVED IT. I normally don’t get into epic fantasy, but it occurs to me that the reason for that is because so many novels in that genre are full of dudes. All dudes, all the time, with maybe a token female character here and there. Dudes galore. So my question is: can you recommend any epic fantasy novels, like Red Sister, where the characters are primarily women? I’d prefer adult fiction, although YA is fine as long as it doesn’t center on eye-rolling-ly cheesy/over-dramatic teen romance. Thank you! -Sara 3. I just finished The Witch’s Heart and really liked it! I would love a read-alike. I have already read both Madeline Miller books and loved them as well. Anything you can recommend would be great! -Jessica 4. Hi guys! I’m looking for shifter romance recommendations. Specifically, a romance where the hero pursues the heroine with humor and gusto while she is not that interested. Usually this kind of plot doesn’t last very long so a longer ‘chase’ if you will. I enjoy a male MC that’s funny and confident but also sweet to our female MC (I don’t mind if he’s ‘alphary’). Bonus points if it’s extra smutty

Has there been another title this fitting to the moment released this year?I doubt it. And how perfect that it was decided years in advance, as a favorite saying of Jacqueline's father's during the hard times after the second world war. Reading this memoir, and discussing it with Jacqueline, was a wonderful reminder that we can get through so much more than we think.As a fan of the Maisie Dobbs series, reading this memoir felt like a tour of the author's life, seeing all the events that inspired plot lines in her novels. It is satisfying to spy them as you read. But this is also an extraordinary story of a childhood that spanned huge changes in society and a family grappling with the world lurching ahead. It was the perfect read for this year.And once again, what a treat to speak to Jacqueline, a woman who dreamed of being a writer all her life, but didn't publish her first book until her forties- obviously that's a story after my own heart... happy listening!Visit this episode's show notes page here: https://www.secretlibrarypodcast.com/episodes/jacqueline-winspear-s3-ep9 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Set in 1954, this Booker Prize winning novel follows a quintessential English butler named Stevens on a road trip to visit his manor’s former housekeeper Miss Kenton.

In addition to the historical context of this modern classic, we discuss character-driven novels and four of Sara’s all-time favorite books. Our discussion includes: Personal reading preferences and the appeal of character-driven novels (6:55) The theme of regret (20:00) Connections to Downton Abbey and why fans needs to read this book (28:28) Plus, as always, we’re recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic including a time-hopping literary fiction novel and a cozy historical mystery.

Murder mysteries: if you believe the clichés, they all happened in the 1920s and 1930s, surrounded by flappers and butlers. But let’s take a second to wonder — why is it that detective fiction is so closely associated with this period style?

Maisie Dobbs has been a favorite character of mine for years. So when I found out that Jacqueline Winspear had TWO books coming out this March, I knew we had to have her on the show. I have been a dedicated reader of this brilliant series since the beginning, as this unconventional detective navigates life after WWI and now well into WWII. Jacqueline spoke very eloquently about the impact her family history has had on her writing this series and how this went from a single story and one book she wanted to write very quickly into a hit series. We dive into character development over the course of a series, and most importantly how to take care of yourself as an author while writing about difficult topics. I know you'll be motivated and uplifted as I was after speaking with Jacqueline, yet another author I've adored even more after the interview. Happy listening!

I've been trying of late to read more feminist literature and novels from female perspectives. It's been pretty easy to find literary fiction to read, but I'm interested in reading some science fiction and fantasy novels with a feminist slant. I haven't had much luck finding them unless they are YA novels (I've read a few but to be completely honest YA just doesn't do it for me). Any recommendations? Thanks! --Genevive 2. Hello Ladies! I am hoping you can help me find a good book for my father to read on his well-deserved vacation at the beginning of December. He said he really wants to relax and so wants something light-hearted. I’ve realized that when I want a nice light-hearted read I normally reach for YA, which I have a hard time picturing him reading. I was already thinking of suggesting Becky Chambers and Lincoln in the Bardo (I realize the latter isn’t necessarily light-hearted but it just seems so up his alley I couldn’t resist). Some books I know he’s enjoyed in the past include Cutting for Stone, various books by Ken Follet, and A Walk In the Woods. Something humorous would probably be good. Thank you for your help and your wonderful show! I look forward to it every week! --April 3. Jenn and Amanda - I've been realizing over the past year that my closest friendship is with a toxic person and I need to cut ties. We've been friends since college, were in each other's weddings, and have become moms together so it's hard for me to walk away, even though I know it's what's best for my own growth and health. It's left me feeling very lonely so I'm looking for books to fill the lonely void and help me heal (as only books can do). I enjoy most character-driven fiction, as long as there is one likable character to root for, and memoirs that read like fiction (i.e. The Glass Castle). Thanks so much! --Kate 4. Hi! I love your podcast, you guys are great! Like with many people, my family can be hard to shop for. Think you can help with my brother? Some of his favorite authors are Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Matthew Woodring Stover, and Caitlín R. Kiernan. He is also a stickler for facts--he likes fantasy/horror elements, but if there are incorrect facts about real things (especially about history and politics) he'll decide a book is rubbish even if it's otherwise a good book. This means shopping for him can be anxiety producing. Help! --Anxious Sister 5. Hey Jenn, Please help--the love of my literary life is Sarah Addison Allen and I've read everything she's written (including the free shorts on Amazon) multiple times and I find myself needing more books that feel like getting a warm hug. There is something about the pacing and the combination of unique characters and circumstances (a grumpy apple tree? Awesome! Giants? Great! Wallpaper with moodswings? Love it!). I also love that while there are some problems and conflicts, they are not so dark as to overshadow the entire novel and while urgent in the moment, don't detract from that warm-hug feeling. The light touches of magic in otherwise realistic fiction are the thing that keeps me wanting more. Note: please not Beatriz Williams or Alice Hoffman. They keep getting recommended via goodreads, amazon and NoveList and for the life of me, I just can't seem to connect to their characters. Also, I know that you're backlogged, so if you'd rather answer in an email than on the show, that is absolutely fine--I will be grateful for your recommendations whenever and wherever you can provide them. Thanks!! --Abbey 6. Hi! I've been dealing with an undiagnosed chronic illness that has left me housebound for some time now. Reading about other disabled people's experiences has been eye-opening and comforting in that I'm not alone, but many of the books I've read (So Lucky, Invisible, Sick) have been difficult to read because they've touched on a lot of raw wounds. I'd really like to read something more lighthearted, but still featuring disability/chronic illness as a major plot point. I'm open to any genre, but own voices only please! Thank you! --Rachel 7. Just an FYI my name is pronounced Crystal. I am an avid reader of many genres. I find it hard to find mystery novels that I enjoy. I have read all of the Maisie Dobbs series and am a true lover of Sherlock Holmes. I would like recommendations of mysteries with interesting characters that don't seem pulpish. I hope that makes sense. Time, place, location are not a consideration.

Amanda and Jenn discuss Key West reads, Native American authors, WWI novels and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Random House and Book Riot Insiders. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS here, or via Apple Podcasts here. The show can also be found on Stitcher here. Questions 1. Hi Jenn and Amanda, I'm the English Department chair at a private school in South Florida. Our summer reading lists have typically included multiple titles from Sherman Alexie, but in this week's department meeting, we reached a swift, unilateral decision: we're taking him off the list. We're beginning to explore other indigenous authors who we can, in good conscience, include in our list instead. Louise Erdrich immediately comes to mind, but I worry that her prose will be less accessible to our (often reluctant) 9th- and 10th-grade readers. Do you have any recommendations for titles or authors who, like Alexie, will engage our students? Our school has several students who are members of the Seminole Tribe, so bonus points for books that are written by or about Seminoles. (Own voices are preferred.) We are compiling the list now, so if you could respond in early to mid-March, that would be great. A post on the site might be helpful, too, as I'm sure we're not the only school wrestling with this issue. Thank you so much! I love the show and look forward to hearing your response. Best, --Ann 2. Hello, I am traveling to Key West Florida in April and would love to read a fiction book set in that area. I'm not too picky about the time frame (when the book is set) but preferably 1940's or later. Thank you! --Megan 3. Hello my favorite recommenders! I love your podcast and listen every week, and I have been waiting for an occasion to ask for some recommendations. My husband and I just booked a trip to England and France for two weeks in October. I would like to read some books to familiarize myself with essential information about history and art specifically centered in London and Paris so I can be an educated traveler. Anything goes-- travel writing, nonfiction, art books, historical fiction. Thank you so much, --Caroline 4. Hi, there! I absolutely love the podcast and look forward to it every week! I really shouldn't ask for even more books for my TBR but I am wondering what you would recommend for a lover of romance who has some serious wanderlust. I am in the process of planning my first trip to Europe for a year or two from now and would love a book to transport me there while I wait. I am definitely not opposed to YA but I love a good steamy/adult scene, too. I adore Outlander and really enjoyed Me Before You. I'm also a big fan of Colleen Hoover's. Any suggestions for general fiction that involves travel would be great as well. I can't wait to see what you recommend! Thanks! --Lindsey 5. Hey there- I just started listening to your podcast and am loving it! Its great to get so many varied suggestions and my GoodReads list is expanding like crazy! My request is a fictional book that takes place during WWI. I've been really interested in the era lately, and want something that is fairly historically accurate. I recently read the Maisie Dobbs series, and wanted something that takes place during the era as opposed to after. I recently read "Overseas" and while that was mainly eye-rolling, it made me interested in the era. I'm open to anything, and love weightier novels (i.e. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay) but am also an avid romance reader, and love historicals. The longer the better! Thanks so much and keep up the podcasts, I look forward to them! --Radhika 6. Hi! I saw on the insiders slack that you're low on questions so I thought I'd throw one out there! I'm looking for Joe Hill readalikes. I think this is a tough question because all of his books seem very different to me. Even Heart-Shaped Box and Nos4a2 (which I consider more horror-genre than The Fireman) are completely different types of horror, but I loved both of them. I've read the horror books that have been mentioned on the various podcasts (Fever Dream, Bird Box), but I'd love any other chilling horror recommendations that you have! Thanks! --Chelsie 7. Hi Jenn and Amanda! Recently I had a bookish epiphany and realized that I really liked books about young people trying to make it in NYC. Do you have any recommendations for less well known books like this or books like this that you enjoyed? Bonus for PoC or LGBTQ+ Main characters. Best, --Mariana Books The City of Brass by SA Chakraborty What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia by Elizabeth Catte Mongrels by Stephen Graham-Jones If I Ever Get Out Of Here by Eric Gansworth YA novels by Native American authors post Hemingway’s Girl by Erika Robuck Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy The Suffragette Scandal by Courtney Milan The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah MacLean The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson The Cartographer of No Man’s Land by PS Duffy The Hunger by Alma Katsu The Changeling by Victor Lavalle (trigger warning: harm to children) New People by Danzy Senna Bright Lines by Tanwi Nandini Islam
In this episode Sarah looks at 3 books from very different genres, but all set in England.First she looks at Horton Halfpott, by Tom Angleberger, the story of a young kitchen boy, set during Victorian England. Next, she moves to a series of books by author Jacqueline Winspear about a young woman named Maisie Dobbs. Dobbs is a Psychologist and Investigator who opens her own agency in 1929 in London. Finally, she examines the classic, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, a book set in Georgian England about a young woman who encounters love and mystery when she becomes employed as a governess to the ward of Edward Fairfax.Follow the GSMC Book Review Podcast at http://www.gsmcpodcast.com/book-review-podcast.html
Owls, OhSoHat, Hazel Carter Story This show by sponsored by Quince & Co, Peddler’s Way Quilt Co, and The Blend Cafe. I enjoy your feedback, comments on the blog, and questions. Feel free to write to me at Paulaef@aol.com or on Ravelry as PrairiePiper. Complete show notes at www.knittingpipeline.com. We did buy that first house we looked at because I fell in love with the front door. I could not have goats there. I made a mistake when I told you last week about the way I do the selvedges instead of slipping the first stitch. See directions in the sidebar on this site. I read a note from SpringPeeper about her fondness for goats. Asta wrote about gjetost. It is eaten in very thin slices and not combined with meat or much else other than perhaps a dab of lingonberry jam. Saturday morning I went on a Snowy Owl Expedition by myself. A snowy owl had been seen at Illinois Central College. I took a walk later that day about sunset and I was looking up into the sky in a moment of complete reverie when I saw a white bird flapping its wings WAY UP HIGH. I am 90% certain it was a Snowy Owl but can’t be sure. Alone and warming his five wits, the white owl in the belfry sits.- Alfred, Lord Tennyson Spectra by Stephen West Began Gyllis by Stephen West but I frogged it. The way the pattern was written was too frustrating. OhSo Hat by Lee Bernstein Well-written pattern and wonderful for beginners. Photos show female models but really is unisex and my husband likes it. Piper’s Journey KAL Wave 2 starts March 5. We started a new thread on March 1st because the other thread is getting quite long and that can be discouraging if you are just getting into it. Seasoned PJ knitters can jump in to help. In The Pipeline Knitting New shawl design called Hyla Brook Watching Downtown Abbey is not a soap Opera. Soap operas do not make a lasting impression, they do not have costumes like this or film in castles, and they do not have Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville. You might say that soaps have come a long way since I last saw one in 1968 but they have not evolved THAT much. Reading Finished Birds of a Feather #2 in Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonsen Random House 2010 Love, love, love this book! Helen Simonsen’s first novel and may she write many more. The writing reminds me so much of Alexander McCall Smith. Listening Since finishing The Paris Wife by Paula McClain I am catching up on podcasts. Thank you to Louise of Caithness Craft Collective Podcast for her shout out for Piper’s Journey. David Tolk. In Reverence. Title song of CD which I have purchased on iTunes. Beautiful.

Chris left a message about her sighting of a barn owl. Karebot has a great conversation starter. What would you do during a zombie apocalypse? A correction from last week’s show: (Thank you spinsjal!) Joshua Tucker is a massage therapist, NOT a physical therapist. Read Wendy’s note on our board with another side to the issue. Nature Notes: Last Friday we awoke to dense fog which was not an auspicious beginning to our Snowy Owl Expedition. We made it to the Emiquon Wetland Preserve and saw quite a few American Bald Eagles. We also saw Snow Geese! There were thousands of them flying in ribbons as far as we could see down the waterway. Funky and Aizome did see Snowy Owls in Minnesota! I have not given up yet and there is always next year. Featured Nature writer: John Madson Where the Sky Began: Land of the Tallgrass Prairie. 1982 To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do If bees are few. --Emily Dickinson Needle Notes: Yarn recommendations for socks (that will wear well). Traci (4 girls) Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock, Woolen Rabbit Harmony, Opal. Prairiepoet: Blue Moon Fiber Lightweight Socks that Rock. For the record, I have tried duplicate stitch (Swiss Darning) and do not like it for the tight gauge of socks. I read a letter from JudyBee who is knitting Kevlar into her bullet proof socks! Even Charlene Schurch was impressed! Ten Stitch Twist by Frankie Brown took a little over a month to knit using stash yarn. Spirals are soothing and relaxing even when there are short rows involved. Project notes are here. The Blethering Room: Article about Pam Allen Piper's Journey KAL begins! This is my first published pattern and I'm thrilled. Thanks for your encouragement and support!

A BIG THANK you to all the volunteers for test knitting my first to-be published design, Piper’s Journey. Thank you so very much EVERYONE for your support for the design. Nature Notes I haven’t seen any snowy owls but have seen a lot of white plastic bags that pretend to be. We nearly broke a record for the most days without 1” of snowfall! The record is 330 in 1918. Naturalist and writer Edwin Way Teale born Joliet IL 1899 Wandering Through Winterwas first nature book to win a Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction. “Our minds, as well as our bodies, have need of the out-of-doors. Our spirits, too, need simple things, elemental things, the sun and the wind and the rain, moonlight and starlight, sunrise and mist and mossy forest trails, the perfumes of dawn and the smell of fresh-turned earth and the ancient music of wind among the trees.” ― Edwin Way Teale Maine Morning Mitts by Clara Parkes made for Georgia. Reprinted from The Knitters Book of Yarn by Clara Parkes. Hitchhiker by Martina Behm is almost done! Ten Stitch Twist Blanket by Frankie Brown is more fun than ever! Finished reading on my Nook.
